GREAT HORSE WOULD DEMOLISH FRANKEL WHEN HE WAS RACING LIKE THAT
-
@richfairclough123 Hard to tell isn't it because STS only ever did enough i don't think he was ever truely pushed to his limits where as Frankel has been so i reckon STS would have him also because Mick Kinane is far superior to Tom Queally.
-
THE GREATEST!!!!Well i think so.
-
John Oxx said he had the speed to win from 6f to 1m 4f
-
@richfairclough123 - well said
-
i know times aren't all that but on the same ground, good to firm, he's nearly a second and a half quicker that frankel.... you've got to think that if they were both in this race, and kinane hadn't used the horse up trying to follow frankel's crazy early pace that he'd have got to the 'freak' on the rising ground and been in front on the line. don't get me wrong frankel's a great horse, but in my opinion this fella is something else. so clever he always did just what was required and no more..
-
just watching that again, he won that easier than I thought
-
Thing that amazes me with this is how he has the ability to win over 1m. He was nowhere near optimum trip here, but had the pace to track the leaders and use the stamina to get him home.
The way he improved up in trip was spectacular.
-
@Bax7a but this was a far more talented field very hard to compare
-
I think he posted that before Frankel thumped that guineas field the other week ha !!
This race was the start of history! What an amazing horse he was.
